This time the starting point was a drone from an old unfinished track. But after working a bit with new ideas for it I decided that it would be an interesting exercise to try to make a track that employed various pop music strategies, like a traditional verse/chorus structure and composing with a more or less traditional rock band format (guitar, bass and drums) in mind.

Realizing that I do not have pop-creating capabilities, I gave up on creating a conventional pop song, instead doing this piece of dark, dense bubblegum-pop-sludge.

Dense AND minimal. Love the dark, gritty vibe.

interesting vibe

Me gusta!

Diggin the dark feeling to!!! This is way more my musical taste than "classical" pop structures! Nice one!!!

A cool dark & cinematic track.  Reminded me a bit of how NIN's Ghosts album has a dark progressive feeling.  Well done smile

Nice! So dark, sounds sick as mate, such great sounds in there

Really interesting track.  Has a band sensibility about it.  I enjoyed the darker elements of this and that subtle guitar line.

Very nice and dark set of textures, and a great beat.  Good stuff!

A big thank you to everyone for taking the time to listen and give feedback!

Dark jazzy rock thriller. That's amazing!
